09/15/2019 Cade Adamson is a legend. Best "extra" role in the bizz. See more 10/31/2015 The creators of Aviation Cocktail do a good job creating a thick atmosphere for their story to take place in. It's obvious that a great deal of care went into creating/obtaining the time period specific costumes, props, automobiles, etc. As a huge fan of independent movies I always respect someone who takes on the burden of not just making a film (let alone a feature film) but also of tackling a period piece. The acting is engaging and the music compliments the story. If you're a fan of noir films, or just suspense thrillers in general, you should give it a go and see what you think.

The rich veins are pretty damned obvious to anyone that actually takes the time to view the film... the parallel's between the two brother's lives, and relationships with their wives are amazing and thoroughly entertaining. Sharing a blood connection, yet having two completely different sets of ideals and morals gives way to two completely different approaches and challenges to life. The beautiful landscapes and aerial shots give an 'epic' feel to the film, the pace is perfect, engaging, but not too rushed, and the plot is captivating. Can't wait for David Higgins next film! See more 11/06/2014 This is a great debut film from David Higgins. The cinematography is exceptional, the music top notch and the acting is amazing. It is an indie film that feels like a studio movie. 1950's noir and beautiful Nebraska landscapes, truly terrific. See more 11/04/2014 Definitely an amazing independent film The acting is great, and the plot was awesome. Nicely done. See more 11/04/2014 I love period films and films based on the 1950s. You should definitely watch this film. It's wonderful. See more Read all reviews
